Live Poll: Most Unnecessary Remake/Reboot or Sequel of 2019

Good choice.  I feel the new Terminator is a bit unneeded, given the newest one wrapped things up.  Let's see, which do I choose...  :)
Zombieland - Zombies are getting old; werewolves don't get enough attention!
Hellboy - I don't even wanna know.
Rambo V - Okay, I know it might be a tad neat to see Stallone come back, but that's what Expendables is for!
Jumanji - Oh, great, more dull jokes and cliche action.  Lovely.
Lego 2 - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Child's Play - You've got to be kidding.
MIB - I'll give it a chance...
The Addams Family - Why do they get all the attention?  Where's the Munsters, after all they're actually monsters!
How to Train Your Dragon - Blah.
Maleficent 2 - :/

So, I'm not enthused for a lot of these (surprise!); I think Hollywood is spending too much time on boring, unwanted reboots when they could be doing other, better things.  :)

Thanks a lot!

Agreed

I am sure Disney did otherwise they would have scheduled all these movies to be released this year. And I am sure that by the time this year is said and done Disney is going to be ranking in a lot of money. You don't have to see all these movies, even how interesting that both live action version of Aladdin and the Lion King are coming out this year when the animated movie counterparts came out less then 2 years apart. Does Christopher Robin from last year really count as a live action remake/boot, otherwise the last really one that Disney had was Beauty and the Beast. 

No James Cameron in direction, no party. I honestly would prefer to keep directing Terminator movies than to spend his entire life making those Avatar films.

Paok-Kilkis, for some reason your post was caught in the SPAM filter.

As for James Cameron I can thoroughly agree, but he is a writer and a producer on this new movie, which is the next best thing.  

Yes, Cameron needs to quit the elf movies and focus on cyborgs.  :)

Remember when they made movies about books without pictures?
                   True, so true.  :)

Rob Webster, I mean, I am a comic book and superhero fan and I still partially agree, that abundance leads to gems in the genre getting easily overlooked. 

There's another side to the problem: all the classics were adapted to pieces nowadays and anytime any literature sensation gets adapted it sparks some controversy because everyone has a different picture in mind. Comic books ar very similar to storyboards from the get go and provide a lot of cues as to how characters should look...

Oh, and another thing: despite we have so much movies based on the comics nowadays, some characters remain unadapted for literal decades. Surrealist superhero Flaming Carrot turns 40 this year and only adaptation of that comic, despite being good in its own right, managed to cut the titular character out, concentrating on his supporting teammates instead. 

Looks like the poll voters disagree with you, lol.

I think I am gonna change my vote from Terminator to Godzilla: King of Flops

I loved The Wicker Man Christopher lee's version but when they remade it with Nicholas Cages version it was not the same feelings i got like i did when Christopher's version was made, i have nothing against Nicholas Cage but he was not sinister enough.

Paok-Kilkis, King of Flops? I think the movie was okay. Although I watched it back-to-back with Dark Phoneix (2019), which was so bland and rather uneventful that it was much more dynamic in comparison. 

Nikolay Yeriomin (Mykola Yeromin), I haven't seen Godzilla yet, it may be a good film, I just wrote this comment as a respond to Albert Santalo's comment.

A lot of these are bound to be fine movies, but...

(Yes, there is a "but".)

...in every case, it is important for us to ask, "What is the point of all this?"

On that note, sequels are at least more likely than remakes to foster world-building. Ultimately, the idea is for a movie to be entertaining (and that includes thrilling, frightening or disturbing) enough to generate at least some profit and some enthusiasts (story conversationalists at least). There is rarely going to be one that conveys an idea that has never been conveyed before, or which skillfully conceals education inside of entertainment.
